IDEAL FOR DATA-ACQUISITION APPLICATIONS
CAN BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY GRAPHITE
MODULES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The model GMUIN4 is a 16-bit analog input module designed for use with the
Graphite Series. The module provides 4 isolated universal analog inputs as a
means of signal measurement for data-acquisition. The GMUIN4 accepts a wide
range of thermocouples and RTDs, as well as 0/4-20 mA and 0-10 V process
signals. The modules connect and communicate via proprietary USB connection
to the various Graphite devices. The Graphite devices, equipped with serial ports
as well as an Ethernet port(s), allows the system to share data with PCs, PLCs, and
SCADA systems. The maximum number of modules varies for each Graphite
device, see specific models for details.
Once programmed, the module will continue to operate independent of the
Graphite device as long as power is applied. Remove power from the host device
before installing or replacing any modules.
CONFIGURATION
The Graphite Series is configured with Windows
®
compatible Crimson
®
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which provides a
means of configuration and commissioning of new systems, as well as routine
module re-calibration.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the module. An independent and redundant
temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended.
